The subject matter of my, present inven tion comprises a labelor.index,card holder that is embodied in a coat hanger so that thegarment supported by the hanger can be readily identified and listed orindexed in accordance with an index system.

As illustrated in the figures the coat hanger is preferably bent uptro'ma single piece of wire. A hook 1 is formed in the centerand twoloops 2 and 3 are provided at each end. Intermediate of the loops 2 and3 and below the hook I is formed the rectangular frame l.

As above'pointed out the. h'ang'r is formed trom a single piece of wirewhich starts with the hook and extends down to the middle of the tramel. It then forms the upper, right hand corner of the 'lrame 4; and then.extends trom the lower right hand corner of the frame.

to the right and back again to form the loop 2-3. From the loops 3 thewire extends along the bottom of the frame 4 from where it pro jccts tothe left and back again to form the loop 2 of the hanger. Fromthe innerend sections of the wire are twisted tosiether to make the hanger strongand rigid.
